Bob for Model Number 665.13612100 I have Kenmore trash compactor 665.13612100. When in extra pack mode the ram will come down and stop as it should. When I try to turn the switch to raise it up it makes a loud buzzing noise and won’t come up. If I hit the switch several times it will kick in once in a while and raise up or it will trip a breaker in the unit and be totally dead for about 20 minutes until it resets. It is getting progressively worse and louder. In regular mode it seems to be louder when it hits bottom and reverses. It has stuck down in this mode once as well. Bad motor?
Answer Bob, The motor switch on the unit would be causing this issue due to contacts sticking. You will want to replace the motor for this issue. Read More... Answered by AppliancePartsPros.com | Thursday, November 14, 2013
